Why teams connect Dynamo DB and Gainsight

Mirror Gainsight's data into Dynamo DB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Gainsight through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Dynamo DB.

Stacksync mirrors Task and Playbook, Custom Objects, Company, Person (People) from Gainsight into Global Secondary Indexes, DynamoDB Streams, Global Tables, Tables in Dynamo DB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Gainsight, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 02 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 03 Stream item changes from DynamoDB application tables into a Postgres or warehouse copy for SQL analytics.
  • 04 Sync customer records between DynamoDB-backed services and a CRM so support and sales see live application state.

Common sync patterns

Read Gainsight with a query

Records from Gainsight are ordinary rows in Dynamo DB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Gainsight from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Dynamo DB and Stacksync propagates the change into Gainsight, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Gainsight arrive as row changes in Dynamo DB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and Gainsight

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Dynamo DB objects Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Global Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Timeline Activity to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. Success Plan Account objectives with associated tasks; read out for reporting or synced with project tools tracking onboarding and adoption. Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Success Plan to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs. Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Items is specific to Dynamo DB and Task and Playbook to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Custom Objects Org-specific MDA tables with the __gc suffix; discoverable via the Describe API so field mappings can be generated automatically. Attributes is specific to Dynamo DB and Custom Objects to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync. Company Customer/account master in Gainsight CS; two-way synced with CRM and warehouse customer tables to keep ARR, owner, and renewal fields aligned. Partition and Sort Keys is specific to Dynamo DB and Company to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Global Secondary Indexes Alternate access paths used when sync queries filter on non-key attributes. Person (People) Contacts associated to companies through the Company Person junction; synced two-way with CRM contacts and warehouse person records. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Dynamo DB and Person (People) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dynamo DB and Gainsight

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Dynamo DB Gainsight Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Dynamo DB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Item-level change streams via DynamoDB Streams or Kinesis Data Streams integration.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Gainsight through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Gainsight Dynamo DB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Dynamo DB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Dynamo DB: Throughput is governed by the table's provisioned or on-demand capacity mode.
  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
